Headlands Center for the Arts Wedding

We were looking forward to Kathleen and Jorgen’s wedding at Headlands Center for the Arts since their first email to us.  As photographers in the Bay Area, there are always venues on our wishlist that we can't wait to shoot at.  The Headlands was certainly one of them.  Located in the Golden Gate Recreational Area, the Headlands Center for the Arts is an old military building located on the former Fort Barry near Rodeo Beach.

In addition to picking a beautiful venue, Kathleen and Jorgen were just great to work with.  Kathleen was so detail oriented and she wasn't kidding when she told us that she "DIY'ed the bejezus" out of this thing! We always love brides that have awesome Pinterest boards and impressive timelines on Google Drive. Kathleen and her sisters made all of the bridal bouquets, homemade jam, and all of the other details on display.

The wedding itself was beautiful!  The Headlands certainly didn't disappoint and the campus provided amazing coastal backgrounds. The ceremony took place under a huge eucalyptus tree overlooking fog covered hills of the Marin Headlands. Afterwards we all moved indoors for the reception. The inside spaces were so unique, even the bathrooms were cool! The reception was close knit and food was done family style inside the mess hall.

From their engagement session at the Presidio in San Francisco to their wedding day, we loved working with Kathleen and Jorgen (and their handsome dog Quatrro). Congratulations you two!
